can you smell that?

We talked about Jesus being the Bread of Life tonight with our middle school students, which is what got me started on yesterday's post. It was a special night.

I think that our young students, now halfway through the school year, are maturing. It shows in the way they listen and interact when I teach, and in the ways they worship. It's fun to be in the room with them each Wednesday night.

I have to hand it to our female leaders. Our fearless female crew had the middle school girls bake bread during Chic Chat (girls only group that meets from 6-6:45), and while we worshiped and I taught, the aroma from the bread filled the worship room. It was beautiful. Kim suggested that we offer communion to the students tonight, too, which is not normally part of our worship.

It was a beautiful and fitting response to Jesus, the Bread of Life, who calls us to eat his flesh and drink his blood, to take his essence into our own, to draw life from the very life of the Son of Man.

Good stuff...
